IPL 2013 Results: Wooden Spoon for Daredevils After Loss to Pune Warriors

The battle to avoid the wooden spoon in IPL 2013 was emphatically won by the Pune Warriors by 38 runs, with the Delhi Daredevils, only a year after finishing as top dogs, ended their miserable season at the bottom of the table. Batting first, Pune Warriors made an impressive 172 for five in their 20 overs. The Daredevils were never really in the game, with Ali Murtaza picking up with three wickets to help his side restrict the away side to just 134 for nine. May 19, 2013

Amid IPL Spot Fixing and Cannes Chaos, India’s Forgotten Women Cry Out

India is too resilient for words to express. She moves on amidst storm and draught, thick and thin. Following the mass protests against the rape of a five-year-old in Delhi last month, society has held back its sympathies towards other cases. According to a BBC report, a woman is raped in India every 21 minutes and there are hardly a few incidents that make headlines. For the media also, the arduous task of getting maximum TRPs has shifted the focus to the ongoing IPL spot-fixing controversy and... May 19, 2013

IPL 2013 Results: Kings XI Trump Mumbai Indians in Adam Gilchrist's Farewell Game

Adam Gilchrist failed to make an impression with the bat, but did manage to skipper his side to a win against the Mumbai Indians in his final IPL game on Saturday. Azhar Mahmood (80 in 44 and two for 24) and Shaun Marsh (63 in 47) scored half-centuries to help Kings XI to a formidable total of 183 for eight, which Mumbai Indians were unable to chase down, eventually crashing to 133 all out to hand the home side a 50-run win in Dharamsala.

IPL 2013 Results: Gilchrist Turns Back the Clock as Kings XI Ease Past RCB

Who said IPL is not for old-timers? Adam Gilchrist - at 41-years-young -- and Azhar Mahmood -- all of 38 - put on a brilliant century partnership to guide the Kings XI Punjab to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over the struggling Royal Challengers Bangalore. It takes a lot to keep the crowd at the Chinnaswamy Stadium quiet, but Gilchrist (85 n.o. in 51 balls) and Mahmood (61), who also picked up two wickets, allied for 118 runs in little time to chase down the formidable target of 175 with 11...

IPL 2013 Results: Pollard Blasts Mumbai Indians to the Top as Sunrisers are Stunned

Kieron Pollard absolutely went nuts to smash the Sunrisers Hyderabad into orbit as the Mumbai Indians kept themselves on course for the playoffs in IPL 2013 with a thrilling seven-wicket win. Chasing 179, Pollard (66 in 27 balls) decided to take centre-stage at that point, and in the company of Rohit Sharma (20 in 15), smoked the Sunrisers for 50 runs - yes 50! - in just 12 balls, which included seven boundaries from eight balls off Pollard's blade.

IPL 2013 Results: David Miller Scorches Mohali as RCB are Pummelled to Submission by Kings XI

It takes a special innings to overshadow the IPL behemoth that is Chris Gayle. David Miller did just that and how, scoring an unbelievable 101 from 38 balls to single-handedly hand Kings XI a stunning six-wicket victory over the Royal Challengers Bangalore in an IPL 2013 game for the ages. Gayle's 175 has been the standout innings of IPL 2013 so far, but Miller, with his clean and ridiculously effective hitting, came close, very close, to eclipsing any knock in the history of the IPL.

IPL 2013 Results: Raina Century Studs CSK's Win Over Kings XI

Suresh Raina's love affair with the IPL was reignited as the graceful left-hander smashed an unbeaten hundred to take CSK to a 15-run win over the Kings XI Punjab.

Kings XI in reply, made a real fist of the target with Shaun Marsh (73) and David Miller (51) putting on a brilliant partnership, but the away side fell just short. May 2, 2013
